He literally comes running and will attack if I even show a hint that I'm going to give him a piece. I feel though, in a way, that the steamed veggies and pieces of tofu are healthier snacks than a lot of the treats commercially available.

Should I be doing this? I'm fearful that I'm going to give him something that is toxic to cats without realizing it. Are there foods I should definitely avoid letting him have?

i don't think any of those things are bad for cats. onions and garlic can be dangerous (as well as chives/scallions/anything in that family), like they are for dogs, and there are bad things that i can't imagine a cat wanting to munch on, like grapes and raisins and avocado pits.

My kitties both LOVE and I mean LOVE the homestyle potato rolls with EB. One of my cats likes popcorn and sweets and though I don't give him the sweets, he tries to eat them out of my hand and is quite aggressive about it. I usually have to go to a place where he can't get to eat my sweets by myself (i.e., cookies, muffins, brownies). I tell myself my cats like my cooking because they really seem to.

Gozer will eat anything, and as long as it's not one of the above mentioned foods and not messy (sorry cat, you're not putting your paw in my gravy), we will give him tiny amounts. But first we make him sit in his chair like a person.

Haha. Awesome. Tiffany does crazy jumps. He's usually incredibly lazy and sleepy all day, so I like to pretend he's getting exercise when he freaks out over a clump of tofu.

I would just be careful to make sure Tiffany is only getting very tiny pieces, as too large a piece may not be chewed properly and cause an obstruction. I have heard of a cat obstructing on broccoli before
